Therefore all else being equal a plurality of indicators with transparent assumptions is not only better for those inside higher education—it enables their work to be more accurately understood and valued—it is also better for industry investors, governments and prospective students, for it enables these agents to make finer-tuned judgements about comparative performance and where they need to go. Finally, the ultimate source of democratization lies in the domain of open source knowledge outside rankings.
To replicate the approach on a world scale is a formidable challenge, but one within reach. Fourth, we need to move from composite indicators and single league tables based on one index of value, to more use of single indicators—tailored to purpose—and where hierarchies are used, multiple rather than single league tables. The more space for heterogeneity of valuation, the better. One example is the work of the Leiden CWTS (2010) on research outcome metrics. Leiden eschewed composite tables that blend together a range of research indicators, in the manner of Shanghai Jiao Tong (SJTUGSE, 2010) and the Taiwan authorities (HEEACT, 2008), to produce a ‘best research university’ table.
